GEOGRAPHY FIELD TRIP— OSMINGTON BAY
Year 8 and Year 9 have enjoyed a successful Geography trip to
Osmington Bay on the beautiful Dorset coast. It is an excellent
place for students to explore the Dorset World Heritage
coastline.
Within the Geography Department, we often see students working hard and demonstrating huge
amounts of enthusiasm and we like to be able to recognise this! Every year, we run a trip to celebrate the
effort and enthusiasm of our Year 8 and Year 9 Geographers.
We left for Osmongton Bay PGL on Friday 10 th May with a band of very excited students. We carried out
field visits to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, measuring beach profiles and footpath erosion on a very
sunny Saturday, taking time to try the awesome ice cream shop at Lulworth and followed this with an
afternoon of zip wire and team games. On the Sunday, we just managed to fit in some more zip wire,
giant swing and fencing before heading back to school. The students were amazing ambassadors for the
school; Mr White, Mrs Bradley and myself were very proud of the way they conducted themselves. An
amazing fun-filled weekend was had by all! By Mrs E Johnstone
